Crushed Gravel we deliver in Mexia
Crushed Gravel in Mexia
Mexia sits in Limestone County, where properties use crushed gravel for farm access roads, residential driveways and utility pads. With about 41 inches of precipitation a year, drainage and washout planning become part of the job.
Crushed gravel is angular and locks together under compaction. It holds up under rain and traffic better than loose materials, so your surface stays in place through wet weather.
Crushed Gravel Sizes for Mexia Projects
The table below lists the crushed gravel sizes we deliver to Mexia. Each size serves a different layer or purpose.
| Product | Best for | Notes |
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer | Used as a surface or top dressing for paths and play areas. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Compacts well and supports light to medium traffic. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Ideal farm roads and parking areas that take trucks. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Stabilizes muddy ground before placing a finer layer. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Used for wet spots and large fill areas that need drainage. |
Choosing Crushed Gravel by Project in Mexia
Different jobs call for different sizes and depths. The table below matches common Mexia projects to the right crushed gravel.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft ground; compact thoroughly before adding a top layer. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | Compact to a stable base; thickness depends on load and soil. |
| Trench backfill | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fills tightly around pipes or footings with minimal voids. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Layer over a geotextile if the subgrade is soft; compact in lifts. |
| Compacted base | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Thick base for heavy loads; compacts to a dense, stable surface. |
How Mexia's Climate Affects Your Crushed Gravel Project
Mexia has about 56 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. Scheduling the delivery onto firm ground means picking a dry stretch in the forecast.
With about 38 days a year below freezing, the ground can shift in winter. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass. Frost penetration is real but moderate, so a deeper base layer helps keep the surface stable through freeze-thaw cycles.
The soils around Mexia are commonly moderately well drained. But they are in hydrologic group C, which takes water in slowly and sheds a fair amount across the surface. A deeper drainage layer of crushed gravel earns its place here, especially in low spots.
Estimating Tonnage for Crushed Gravel in Mexia

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Gravel in Mexia
Does the soil around Mexia change how much crushed gravel I need?
Yes. The soils around Mexia are commonly moderately well drained. That means they do not hold water for long, so you may need less base stone than in heavy clay areas. But the issue here is surface runoff, not internal drainage, so a good drainage layer under the crushed gravel still matters.
When is the best time of year to order crushed gravel in Mexia?
Mexia gets about 0 inches of snow a year, so plowing damage to a loose gravel surface is not a concern. The best time is a dry spell when the ground is firm enough for the truck to set the delivery without rutting. Late spring and early fall often provide that window.
How do I know how deep to go?
The right depth depends on the project and the subgrade. For a driveway or pad, a thicker layer is needed under heavy loads or soft ground. Our material calculators can help you estimate the tonnage for any depth you are considering.
What surface does the truck need to reach the drop point?
The truck needs a road width of at least 12 feet to access the drop point. If access is restricted, the crew will unload as close to your marked spot as safely possible. You or a nominated person must be present during the delivery window.
